To Canary Birds

The old Aegyptians would not drinke
The Grapes strong juyce, which they did thinke
(In sober sadnesse) to be sprong
From Gyants blood, as cause of wrong,
Rage, lust, and other mischiefes more:
But were it of Medusa's gore,
And should contort your bodies to
The formes of Snakes; yet would ye show
Your selves such loving wormes to it,
That (by instinct of winding wit)
Ye would cling to the Goblet fast,
And drinke untill your sloughes ye cast.
